Chapter 366

And thick skinned enough.

For ordinary people, where can they face his former master?

But the other party really went back to live in his yard!

After several inmates who were ordered to send people back left, the two doors closed. Looking at the young man leaning on the bed, Ji Xiu, who was disgusted, was finally able to sneer.

"It's really a good plan. I still underestimate you! How? Can I step on this stepping stone smoothly?"

"Father..." Ji Wanyou pulled his sleeve.

"My lord misunderstood me." compared with Ji Xiu's anger on his face, Zhan Yunzhu sitting on the bed looked very calm: "I have no intention of betraying my Lord."

"Up to now, I'm still pretending with my official!"

"Father, you might as well listen to Mr. Zhan's explanation first and then draw a conclusion..." Ji Wanyou took his father and sat down in the chair.

Then he looked at Zhan Yunzhu with a reminder: "master Zhan..."

Is giving him a chance to explain.

At this time, her eyes were full of expectations.

More than anyone else, she hopes that Mr. Zhan is not the kind of person his father said, and more than anyone else, she hopes that Mr. Zhan can always support each other with their Ji family.

"It was a subconscious move when I stopped the arrow for your majesty last night. The situation was urgent at that time, so I didn't have time to ask your excellency -"

Zhan Yunzhu looked calmly and said, "as far as the current situation is concerned, it is also beneficial to adults."

"Really? Why can't I see where the benefits are?" Ji Xiu was full of sarcasm.

This irony did not affect the young man at all. At this time, the other party only asked, "do you remember that I once said to help adults?"

Ji Xiu just snorted coldly and didn't answer.

Zhan Yunzhu said softly, "my Lord and I have a common enemy. No, for me, it's an enemy -"

"Enemy?" Ji Xiu sneered, "in my opinion, Xia Tingzhen is not so much your enemy as an obstacle to your climb."

Will a person who can ignore his mother and sister really take the so-called family feud to heart?

Oh, forget, it's not just family feuds

After all, Xia Han's case also indirectly cut off his way to the imperial examination. In this way, it is indeed hostile.

"No matter what your excellency thinks of me, the situation is settled now." Zhan Yunzhu's tone is still gentle: "it will be helpful for your excellency to have me around your Majesty in the future."

"It helps me a lot? You're afraid you can't stand a firm foothold in the dynasty just by yourself!" Ji Xiu looked straight at Zhan Yunzhu: "I've seen it completely. You want to please both sides."

Where is this person? It's clearly a blood sucking leech. It can't be thrown off when it's adsorbed on the body!

He should have thought that it was not something that this "smart man" could do because he climbed up to the emperor and turned against his former master.

"My Lord is thinking too much about utilitarianism." Zhan Yunzhu sighed imperceptibly and said, "my Lord is kind to me for taking in a bosom friend. I just want to repay my Lord. In addition, I must know better than me about the truth that mutual support can go further in the court."

Ji Xiu tightened Tieqing's lips and didn't speak.

"Yes, father, Mr. Zhan is also thinking about the overall situation..." Ji Wanyou advised: "why don't you try to look at this from a different angle? It's a good thing for both sides."

Then he looked at Zhan Yunzhu with eager eyes and said, "besides, brother Zhan also said that there is more than an interest relationship between the Ji family and brother Zhan... How can we let outsiders reap profits because of a temporary misunderstanding?"

Zhan Yunzhu: "my proposal comes from my heart. I hope adults can seriously consider it."

When Ji Wanyou wanted to persuade again, he only heard his father's heavy cold hum and said, "whether you agree or not depends on how you feel after you!"

After saying this, he got up from his chair, brushed his sleeves and left with a heavy face.

"Father..."

Ji Xiu opened the door, slammed it to both sides, and raised his feet across the threshold.

After taking a few steps, he saw that his daughter didn't follow up. He turned back, frowned and said in a deep voice, "Wan'er -"

Ji Wanyou hurriedly said to Zhan Yunzhu, "young master Zhan... You should take good care of yourself. I'll see you later."

Zhanyun Zhuwei nodded, looked in the direction of the door and said to her, "it's really my fault first. Miss Lao Ji, make an apology for me and adults, so that adults can calm down as much as possible."

Hearing him say this, his expression and tone were sincere. Ji Wanyou raised his mouth slightly, nodded and said, "OK, don't worry, father, I'll persuade him to promise."

"Thank you, Miss Ji."

Ji Wanyou looked at him and whispered, "between you and me, why do you need to thank again..."

Hearing this, Zhan Yunzhu smiled at the bottom of his eyes. He only looked at the girl's eyes gently without saying anything more.

Ji Wanyou jumped a few times in his heart, and his cheeks turned red quickly: "I'll go back first!"

After saying this, the girl turned and left quickly.

Go to the door and don't forget to tell the servant Haosheng to take care of Zhan Yunzhu.

"Father."

Ji Wanyou caught up with Ji Xiu in a few steps and said softly, "you should calm down first. It's not too late to make a conclusion after careful consideration."

"What needs to be considered carefully? Is there any choice as a father?"

"Father, what does that mean?"

"Otherwise, why do you think he has to move back in a hurry?" Ji Xiu said, "this is for the emperor and everyone - tell everyone that he is Ji Xiu's man!"

Will there be fewer people who are jealous and stumble when the son of a sinner who has saved his life enters the Chinese library?

But it's up to the owner to beat a dog!

"He has taken advantage of everything in our Ji family, and he wants to take my name to stand firm. If I don't take something back from him, won't I really become a big injustice!"

"Father, you think too much about childe Zhan and are too good at calculation..." Ji Wanyou smiled helplessly: "childe Zhan asked me to persuade you to calm down just now."

But anyway, listening to his father's words, he agreed to cooperate with Mr. Zhan.

As for easing relations, I think there will be an opportunity in the future.

At this time, he saw his father stop, look at her, and said positively, "Wan'er, as a father today, I must make it clear to you --"

Ji Wanyou was a little uneasy about the eyes that showed a rare severe color.

"Even if I will have contact with Zhan in the future, it is only limited to the business between me and him. There is no other possibility. You and him will never see each other again!"

"... father!"

Ji Wanyou's eyes were shocked and puzzled: "how can you deny that childe Zhan has come here because of this? You were clear earlier..."

"That's because he didn't see all his true face!" Ji Xiu interrupted his daughter in a heavy voice: "his ambition is bigger than I thought before!"

"But father doesn't need such people to support our Ji family..."

"Wan'er, don't be silly! Up to now, do you really think he likes us? Anything is just his stepping stone!"

Ji Xiu's eyes were very deep: "as long as he can climb up, he will catch it. When he really climbs higher, he will find a more solid supporter! At that time, Ji family, you, I'm afraid there will be no good end!"

He is now glad to have seen the man earlier.

If not, I will send my daughter to the fire pit because of a moment of weakness.

Ji Wanyou shook his head and wanted to say something else, but he saw his father raise his hand, stop her from speaking, and take an indisputable language: "don't say any more. My father can indulge you in anything, but this one, my father can never watch you choose the wrong way!"

Then he turned and strode away.

Looking at the back of his father's departure, Ji Wanyou clutched his sleeve tightly, and his eyes gradually turned red.

At present, her father full of prejudice seems to have never been tough. What should she do?

When she was seventeen, she finally waited until she really appreciated and liked the man enough for her and Ji family to rely on. Should she give up?

……

When it was getting late, Xu Mingyi got a portrait.

"Girl, this was just sent by Xiao Qi. In addition, Wu Shisun has two more words to tell the girl..."

Xu Mingyi stood in front of the window and listened to ah Zhu finish the two sentences. His eyes reflected the dusk, and gradually sank down.

Immediately, those eyes dropped and looked at the portrait slowly unfolding in their hands.

The portraits from Xiao Qi's men are always vivid enough.

One glance could tell her who it was.

At this moment, Xu Mingyi was not surprised, nor did he have the violent mood ups and downs he imagined.

She just sneered, quietly rolled up the portrait, turned away, and said to ah Kui, "follow me to Grandpa."

Okui answered "yes" and hurried to keep up.

When Xu Mingyi came to the residence of the Duke of the town, he saw Mingshi sitting in the hall playing chess with his grandfather.

"Zhaozhao, come and show grandpa how to play this chess?" the Duke of the town, who was unable to compete with his grandson's chess skills, openly lifted the rescue soldiers.

"You've got the wrong person. Your granddaughter's chess skills are not much better than yours. You'd better admit defeat as soon as possible." Xu Mingyi went over and looked at the chessboard.

"It's only halfway down. How can anyone persuade people to admit defeat?" Xu Mingshi was dissatisfied.

"What's your intention to say? You're looking for Grandpa's chess. It's unknown to bully people?"

Her brother has been a chess basket since he was a child. His father and second uncle accompanied him to play chess in turn. In terms of elegance, his grandfather who only knows walnuts. Where is his opponent?

Xu Ming couldn't tell whether he was scolded or praised for a moment. He said in a pleasant tone: "I'm not accompanying my grandfather to relieve boredom."

"The boredom will be solved another day. I have something to tell my grandfather alone right now."

When Xu Ming said "Oh", he threw the chess pieces back into the chess bowl and stood up.

When Xu Mingyi talked with his grandfather, he was always used to avoiding it, and his actions at this time were also due to habit.

But as soon as he got up and was about to salute his grandfather and leave, he suddenly hesitated.

"But there are other things?" the Duke of the town took up the tea bowl and asked his grandson.

"Grandson..." Xu Ming glanced at the portrait rolled up in Xu Mingyi's hand and asked, "sister, do you want to talk to your grandfather about private affairs?"

Xu Mingyi was shouted by this "sister" and was very useful. He smiled and said, "it's not private, it's business."

The boy looked positive: "can I stay and listen?"

The reason why he came to see his grandfather today was to play chess to relieve his boredom. He wanted to know some important things at home.

"If you want to listen, of course you can." Xu Mingyi still smiles.

Xu Ming's eyes were slightly bright. He quickly found a place and sat down straight.

Xu Mingyi handed the portrait to his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, do you remember the rescuer you asked about this morning?"

The Duke of the town nodded his head and unfolded the portrait. Even when he was surprised, "Zhan Yunzhu?!"

Xu Mingyi nodded: "it's him."

Xu Ming, who was sitting there, was surprised and said, "brother Geun Ping is still alive!"

Didn't you throw yourself into a river last year?

Xu Mingyi looked at his brother and said, "he is still alive, but don't call him brother Geun Ping anymore. He is the enemy of our Xu family."

Since my brother wants to grow up, some things in front of him must be made clear.

Xu Ming was stunned: "when did you get your revenge?"

Although he and his neighbor's brother are not very close, the other side has watched him grow up and is a disciple of his second uncle. The other side has a gentle temperament and often instructs him on his lessons, so he has always had a good impression on him.

"It's not obvious. It's normal if you don't know." Xu Mingyi roughly explained the process: "Like his father Zhan Qian, he used to work for Xia Tingzhen. A few years ago, he secretly inquired into the secrets of our Xu family. On the surface, he was close to us, but secretly conspired with others to deal with our town government - in a word, he was a hypocrite with ulterior motives."

Xu Mingshi heard it in the clouds.

The Zhan family works for Xia Tingzhen?

But why did Xia Tingzhen inquire about his family secrets?

When he wanted to ask again, he only heard Xu Mingyi sitting next to him say, "if you can't figure it out, write it down for the time being and talk to you in detail when you have time."

Xu Ming nodded: "... Oh, OK."

No way, as a poor student who doesn't even have a good foundation, it's normal to come into contact with these and don't understand them at first. This situation can't blame the teacher.

"He was the one who saved the car." the Duke of the town frowned and said, "according to this, it was indeed a dead escape at the beginning, and he even threw it into Jixiu's house!"

"That's right." Xu Mingyi said, "and according to the people under Wu Tsui, the emperor intends to reward him for his rescue and let him join the Central Library province and serve as a member of the central library."

Xu Mingshi's face was expressionless because he was absorbed in listening, but his heart's little book was already remembering page by page.

"Zhongshu Buddhist monk?" the Duke of the town pondered for a moment and said, "it seems that the emperor is going to reuse this man."

If only for the so-called reward, give some rewards or give an official position at will, but the Chinese book is different from others——

Although it is only a seven grade official position, it is in charge of writing letters and imperial edicts. If the emperor has important tools, it is not illegal to participate in political affairs.

But this man had no chance to meet the emperor before. This time, he just saved a driver. How did he get into the eyes of the emperor?

——Between hypocrites?
